N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

There are two possibilities for William West. There must be some characteristics to help separate their collections.

There are indeed two William Wests - father and son; further details on the wiki pages

Thanks,
knowing that they were father and son helps a lot. Perhaps I should have guessed this from "junior" in the signature.

and then there was the other son
George Stephen West (1876 – 1919) was born In Bradford. He was the younger son of William West (1848 – 1914) and was educated at the Bradford Technical College, the Royal College of Science London and St John’s College, Cambridge.
